Default Forge DV Relo installed...

The bad: My kit was delivered the day Mike put that SFS kit up, otherwise I would've been all over it. I know you're supposed to avoid any last minute mods prior to major events, but I couldn't resist this one due to ease of install.

The good: Noticeable recovery, the DV just seems to be faster than before. I swapped the APR DV back to the 007 as it seems to hold a little better. I installed the valve in OEM orientation.

The badder: Somewhere between "tight, but don't tear the silicone" I managed to end up "not tight enough" Blowing a hose off at 20+ psi feels like hitting a brick wall. Fortunately I was about 100ft from home.

The better: I'm still a little gun-shy after blowing that hose, but I managed to peak it up to 22psi once or twice over the weekend with no issues. I'm impressed how the volume of the "chuff" of the DV has been reduced even with the VTDA in place.

Overall, the power delivery has become buttery smooth. Very happy with the results on this one.

Default Investment in good clamps will alleviate this>>>

worm gear clamps are not the most reliable, especially some of the cheaper ones....

T-bolt clamps FTW!

Glad you are finally getting motivated! ;-)
